A great first competitive game for our B team, a solid win over Richmond which is something to be proud of. The Wimbledon pack dominated throughout the game, and the fact that the scoreline did not quite reflect that is something for us to work on in future weeks. Of particular note was the strong running displayed by Ellis Morgan and Eslam Djennad; however the first half belonged to Alex Browning who ran in both of our tries in response to the early Richmond score and conversion.

The dominant performance continued in the second half, with Eslam powering over the line to finish off a period of sustained pressure, and Damien Cherry-Fox capping a storming performance - perhaps his best ever in a Wimbledon shirt - with a well-deserved try. However Richmond are a team never to be written off, and they came back late in the game with a try as their impressive fly-half ran through most of the Wimbledon team - some work to be done on tackling practice!

The back line were not to be completely overshadowed on the day, with Lucas Strauss making an impressive debut. James Jenkinson was unlucky not to convert an inventive punt over the advancing Richmond line into a try, after following his own kick. The report would not be complete without mentioning both the superb tap-tackle and textbook try-saving defensive tackle from Ben Cantello.

Overall a solid first outing for the Bs and a strong argument for some promotions to the A squad in the coming weeks.
